Expectation

 Psalm 62:5

My soul, wait silently for God alone,

For my expectation is from Him

My friend Philip Sharp recently encouraged his church to come not just because they needed to be healed but to come expecting to be healed.

When we have expectation for something we believe, have faith, that we are going to get it. If you work a job you have an expectation that you are going to get paid come pay day.

In Psalm 62:5 it says our expectation comes from God. Why, because He has given us promises, His character and His love for us. Healing, for example, is a promise, part of His character and is a part of His love for us. We should come to the Lord with an expectation always for healing. We should also have expectation and faith for all His promises for us.

If there is a problem of lacking expectation it is because we lack the knowledge of His promises, character and love.

Read His Word. It will show you all 3 in detail and build your expectation and faith for all there is for you and share it all with everyone you meet. That way expectation and faith can grow in them. First for salvation and then the rest.
